Three Immortal Island.

A graceful figure swept down from above the clouds.

Yunxiao was clearly not yet over what had happened earlier.

Her face was slightly flushed, her mind in a complete mess.

What was happening to her?

Why was she reacting so strongly over a mere kiss?

Recalling the scene from before, Yunxiao's face turned even redder.

Was it like this between Dao Companions?

Just as she was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Eldest Sister!"

Yunxiao was startled and quickly turned around.

She saw Qiongxiao standing behind her at some point.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Qiongxiao looked at Yunxiao with curiosity.

"I called you several times before, but you didn't hear me."

"Eldest Sister, what were you thinking about to be so engrossed?"

What was I thinking about?

Of course, I was thinking about what happened with Lu Changsheng earlier.

But there's no way I can tell Qiongxiao that.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the Jie Chan Discuss Dao matter."

"What is Bixiao doing?"

Yunxiao said, walking towards the Cave Mansion.

Before she could even enter, Bixiao, who had heard the voices, rushed out.

"Huh? Eldest Sister, weren't you going to guide Lu Changsheng in the Shangqing Sword Art? Why are you back so soon?"

Yunxiao's heart panicked, and she quickly explained.

"Because..."

"Because Junior Brother Lu has astonishing comprehension. He grasped the Shangqing Sword Art instantly, so I came back."

"I'm going into secluded cultivation. You can't be lazy either!"

Yunxiao entered the Cave Mansion as if fleeing.

Watching Yunxiao's retreating back, Qiongxiao was full of questions.

Something's not right.

Nine out of ten things are not right.

She didn't know how far Lu Changsheng's Cave Mansion was from Three Immortal Island.

But Yunxiao had returned far too quickly.

Could the Shangqing Sword Art be comprehended that fast?

And I thought I saw Yunxiao's cheeks were slightly flushed just now.

What was that about?

Her intuition told her that Yunxiao was definitely hiding something.

But if Yunxiao didn't say anything, asking would be pointless.

It seemed she could only keep a closer eye on things.

Meanwhile, back in her Cave Mansion, Yunxiao was frowning.

It was still about Lu Changsheng.

She knew she had been acting strangely lately.

Once or twice might be fine, but if it happened too often, Bixiao and Qiongxiao would surely notice.

Moreover, one couldn't hide the truth forever. Once Bixiao found out about the Dao Companion matter...

She didn't know what would happen.

Initially, she had no affection for Lu Changsheng at all. Agreeing to be Dao Companions was an accident.

She had originally set a thousand-year pact, thinking that if Lu Changsheng couldn't reach the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, their Dao Companion relationship could be dissolved.

In that case, there would be no problem with not telling Bixiao.

But plans never kept up with changes.

First, after several interactions with Lu Changsheng, especially after he defeated Dingguang Xian with his Mysterious Immortal cultivation.

She had to admit that she had developed feelings for Lu Changsheng.

Then there was the matter of the thousand-year pact.

Now, it seemed that Lu Changsheng reaching Primordial Unity Golden Immortal in a thousand years was not an impossible feat.

If the Dao Companion relationship couldn't be dissolved, how would she explain it to Bixiao in the future?

This question genuinely gave Yunxiao a headache.

After much thought, she couldn't come up with a solution.

Yunxiao let out a long sigh. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it.

Bixiao didn't know about this matter for now anyway.

Her most important task right now was still cultivation.

The Jie Chan Discuss Dao was crucial, and the Jie Sect absolutely could not lose.

Although she was extremely dissatisfied with some of the Chan Sect's rhetoric.

There was one point she had to admit: the Chan Sect's Jade Void Twelve Immortals were not weak.

Especially Guangchengzi!

Therefore, to ensure the outcome of the Discuss Dao, she had to break through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal before the discussion.

Even though it was difficult, she had to try.

Yunxiao calmed herself and began to cultivate.

Kunlun Mountain.

At this moment, the entire Yu Xu Palace was enveloped in waves of mysterious light.

After about fifteen minutes, the mysterious light gradually dissipated.

Yuanshi looked into the distance, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He still couldn't deduce it.

After Chijingzi and Huanglong Zhenren left, he had tried to deduce it several more times.

But the result was the same.

He couldn't find out.

He couldn't even deduce a single piece of useful information.

Since achieving Heavenly Dao Saint, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

No wonder they dared to attack his Chan Sect disciple and snatch Huanglong Zhenren's opportunity.

They truly had some means.

He didn't know what the other party relied on to escape his deduction.

But escaping for a moment was not escaping for a lifetime!

He wanted to see how long this person could hide!

Just then, a figure walked in from outside Yu Xu Palace.

"Guangchengzi greets Master."

Yuanshi looked Guangchengzi up and down.

"You've been stuck at the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal for some time."

Guangchengzi thought Yuanshi was scolding him and quickly defended himself.

"Replying to Master, your disciple is dull and has been unable to break through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal for a long time."

This was actually normal.

Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was definitely a hurdle for Honghuang cultivators.

This realm could be considered a watershed for Honghuang powerhouses.

Because of this, breaking through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was extremely difficult.

Starting from Golden Immortal, most cultivators had to undergo the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations to achieve Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Even a cultivator with excellent roots like Guangchengzi found it difficult to break through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal at this point in time.

"During this period, you will stay in Yu Xu Palace, and I will personally guide your cultivation."

"I will help you achieve Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal within two hundred years."

Yuanshi spoke.

Guangchengzi was stunned and overjoyed.

There was such a good thing?

"Thank you, Master!"

"Don't thank me just yet."

Yuanshi interrupted Guangchengzi.

"Two hundred years later, Tongtian will bring the Jie Sect disciples to Kunlun Mountain to discuss the Dao with our Chan Sect disciples."

"I have only one request for you,"

"Our Chan Sect must win this discussion!"

Actually, Yuanshi didn't want to do this originally.

After all, with Guangchengzi's root, even if things were left to take their natural course, he would eventually achieve Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Now, he had to make Guangchengzi break through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal within two hundred years.

This kind of acceleration would inevitably cause some damage to Guangchengzi's foundation.

But whether it was the Jie Chan Discuss Dao two hundred years later, or the Demon Race Heavenly Court that would come even later.

The Chan Sect needed a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to preside over it.

So, he could only try to improve Guangchengzi's cultivation first and then find a way to resolve Guangchengzi's issues later.

After hearing Yuanshi's words, Guangchengzi understood.

"Master, rest assured. Your disciple will do his utmost to defeat the Jie Sect disciples and uphold the name of our Chan Sect!"

Yuanshi nodded slightly.

"Very well, I will now impart the Dao of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to you."
